So many projects..........where should I start?!

After a little mooch in Oxfam last week I emerged with two beautiful patterns and some much needed knitting accessories (additions to my needle collection.....always needed!)

The patterns are rather, how shall I put this......retro...? I love them!
.............and such a bargain too!

Trouble is knowing which one to begin first. I've opted for the cheeky low cute number (top picture). Twinned with a nice little vest top this will be perfect with jeans or dressed up with some smart trousers for work. I've started making this in a soft denim blue colour.

I'm thinking bright and bold for the cable knit jumper :)

Love and best wishes,

Making the most of the beautiful weather.

Snow, snow everywhere. We even managed to get some here on the West Coast.

As you will have gathered from my previous posts, I am a bit of a fan of the great outdoors. What better place then to show off some of my recent makes whilst staying warm and showing off just a snippet of my creative personality :)

and here are some pictures of the beautiful scenery I enjoy everyday.............

Helvellyn is up there somewhere :)

What next....well, I'm currently preparing for a craft fair at a local aquarium. Lots of things to make still. I'm focusing on baby bits and funky jewellery. take a look at this new creation.......

Not the best pic but just a little sneak peek at my new 'rose' ring

Speak soon,

The Ullock Scarecrow festival

After much planning and fretting the Ullock Scarecrow festival came ..... and went. The two days absolutely flew by. Lots of lovely people came along and had a good look at the crafty creations of the local artists and makers on display. Some people even sampled my gluten and wheat free cakes! :)


Here are some pictures of my first ever craft stall:

After the doors of the village hall closed for the evening I managed to take a look at some of the fantastic scarecrows on display.

I can't wait to see what they come up with next year! :)

P.s. Keep posted for info on my latest designs and creations..........coming soon!  

Count down to the Ullock Scarecrow festival

And so it begins........

It's less than two weeks until the Ullock Scarecrow fetsival and I'm busy planning and making. This will be my first craft fair and therefore I am both nervous and very excited. So many things to think about - What do I want to include? Label designs? Will people like my crafty creations?!

Deep breath.......

Here's the plan so far:

As well as the many baby items I've made over the weeks and months I shall be showing off my knitted jewellery and accessories - using patterns I have made myself and those I have discovered thanks to my lovely fellow crafters.

I'll also be taking along some of my special baked goods. Special because they are all gluten and wheat free. I've been experimenting with flavours and ingredients in order to create some super tasty treats. At the moment one of my favourites is banana and chocolate chip muffins - Yum! (pics to follow soon).

Looking forward to meeting up with other local crafty folk and to showing off my collection of crafty items.

Hope to see some of you there! :)
